Do you ever think physical networking events will have their comeback?

Do you think future is digital only for networking/corporate events? Or you still see some part of physical meet-ups still being indispensable and will have its moment back?

Physical will always be preferred over virtual imo.

@1988seb I too agree with that. Recently I attended a physical event and found that the interactions were not that wide, people keeping in their comfort zone. Digital events make it even worse.

Physical networking events are slowly making a comeback in Finland. Super glad about it as I'm not a fan of digital events - I much prefer physical.

@zoon_s People are more hesitant to mingle with each other compared to pre-pandemic. I think this will go back to normal over time as people get used to face-to-face interactions again.

@inesfenner What are some challenges you have faced in physical networking events you attended?

@inesfenner Right. I had same experience few days back attending a seminar of 300 people. Everyone was comfortable networking with people they already knew. Very few took initiative to actively broaden their reach. Though I think that's part of human behavior but definitely more exacerbated by pandemic.

If I want to start building product which would lead to better interaction/cohesiveness between different teams in an organization or participant in a networking event, will there be any paid takers? What do you think?
